The new record will be out next May 26 and features six tracks that are alternate vocal appearances and mixes from his 2018 album “Sweetzerland Manifest”.
“We had so many songs and with everything going on with the Vampires, Aerosmith, COVID, not touring and touring, this music kept riding along for me. It was like the engine of a train that wasn’t going to stop.”
“I’d wanted to put these songs out, and the idea of adding them to a vinyl release or Deluxe Version turned into doing MKII. I tend to think in terms of albums. The first one had a vibe, and MKII is a little more rocked out. I almost prefer it. It’s one of those records I can play from front to back live,” Joe Perry said in an official statement.
The single “Fortunate One” is already available on all streaming platforms and has the Black Crowes vocalist Chris Robinson and Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo.
